KENT: Another strong team effort Wednesday night allowed Kent State to overcome a second consecutive opponent featuring a 30-point plus scorer, as the Golden Flashes edged Youngstown State 83-79 at the M.A.C. Center.

Kent State senior forward/center Mark Henniger was named Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week today.

The Massillion-Jackson High School product averaged 13.0 points and 4.7 rebounds as he helped the Golden Flashes improve to 6-1 on the season with a three-games-in-three-days weekend sweep at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic subregional hosted by Kent State at the M.A.C Center.

About an hour before Kent State took the floor Sunday afternoon to face visiting Saint Peter’s in the first game off a seven-game home stand, Golden Flashes coach Rob Senderoff singled out a trio of players by name during pre-game comments on the radio regarding who he felt needed to step up.

Opening Statement: A great win, a good way to send our seniors out the right way in a Kent State uniform in Dix Stadium. A lot of these guys made great contributions in today’s win and it was good to see all 16 seniors play. We got one more to finish the mission and we can win two in a row to start our offseason program for our younger guys.

KENT: The wins have come sparingly this season for the Kent State football team, but the third one will be remembered for some time by the 16 senior players who suited up for their final time Wednesday night at Dix Stadium.

With contributions from a handful of seniors – including versatile Dri Archer on offense and shifty Roosevelt Nix on defense – host Kent State kept Miami winless with a 24-6 victory on a memorable Senior Night.

After three seasons anchored to a wall in the Kent State locker room, the Wagon Wheel trophy didn’t make the short trip home to Kent with the Golden Flashes Saturday evening as they departed Akron’s InfoCision Stadium.
